First letter, tire type: P= passenger car, LT=Light Truck, T= Temporary, ST= trailer.
Numbers:
255 = width
70= percentage of width that the sidewall is (how much rubber is around the rim). Low profile sport car tires will have smaller numbers (i.e. 255 20 R 17)
R 16= Means Radial Tire, wheel size 16 inches.
Radial refers to the belt organization within the tire. The other option is "D" for diagonal. R and D tires can not be used on the same vehicle.
Translation: P 255 70 R 16 is a passenger tire that is 255 mm wide, not low profile, that mounts on a 16" rim.
